Garcia beats Texas Democrat accused of antisemitism in House primary runoff
Garcia prevailed after national Democrats condemned Maureen Galindo’s antisemitic remarks, and an outside group spent $1 million to boost her campaign, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Democrat Johnny Garcia won the Texas 35th Congressional District Democratic primary runoff, NBC News projects, defeating Maureen Galindo, who had been condemned by party leaders for antisemitic comments.
- Galindo shocked observers by finishing first in the March 3 primary with 29% support despite raising less than $10,000, narrowly edging Garcia by just under 1,200 votes and triggering the runoff.
- After the primary, Lead Left PAC spent nearly $1 million boosting Galindo with ads framing her as a fresh face compared to 'weak Democrats.' Punchbowl News reported the PAC had links to a GOP fundraising platform.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee called Galindo's language 'disqualifying,' while Garcia received endorsement from the Democratic Majority for Israel in February.
